The headline clash of matchday 33 in the English Premier League sees Arsenal take on Manchester City this Sunday, April 19, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. GMT at the Emirates Stadium.

This game is of huge significance and could even be described as a “final” for the title. The Gunners hold a six-point lead over the Citizens, who have played one game less. The outcome of this showdown will have a direct impact on who lifts the trophy in a few weeks.

Mikel Arteta must at least force the Sky Blues to share the points if he wants to keep Arsenal’s best shot at claiming a title that’s been out of reach for 22 years, since the legendary “Invincibles” season.
